Could you build this?
Partial While an operational hotel dashboard and AI guest communication flow is easily vibe-coded, acting as a true PMS replacement requires certified two-way integrations with legacy Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and OTAs (Booking, Expedia).
What it would actually take: A full version requires a core PMS relational schema (room inventory, housekeeping states, folios), PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment tokenization, and certified channel manager connectivity via OTA/HTNG XML APIs. The hard part is navigating legacy hotel protocol standards (Opera, Amadeus, Sabre) and passing rigorous certification audits with global OTA channels.
